Weight

Took my daughter in for her two year check up. Her weight was 30 pounds, almost 31. The md acted like she was overweight and has bad eating habits. Makes me so mad. My husband and i make sure she eats healthy...she does get treats every now and then, mainly at my parents (once a week when we visit) we don't keep sweets or soda in our house

How tall is your daughter? My son is 21 months and almost 32 pounds. He's also 36" tall, so his doctor has never mentioned his weight as a problem. He's just giant, but not a bit fat. I thought they only worried when the percentile shifted greatly fromone visit to the next?

I agree with pp that weight should be proportional to height. I can extra sensitive at pedi appts too - my son was screaming at a check up and the pedi called him being overly dramatic. I felt like the dr wasn't make him feel comfortable so changed pedi and we are all much happier.
